Chapter 646: The Way Home Eight
49_49658 Chu Mingxin came out of the yamen and followed Guo Lizheng back to Uncle Gu's house, which had been renovated.
Guo Lizheng knew that this was a rich master, and he treated her very politely.
"Xiaomei's girl is in her house, Granny Zhang is guarding her, girl, let's go take a look!"
"Okay." Chu Mingxin nodded to Guo Lizheng, and walked to the room where she and Xiaomei were temporarily staying.
There was a little yellow dog lying at the door of the room, and when he saw her coming, the little yellow dog wagged his tail lazily, and his head was still wrapped in a white cloth.
Xiaomei took a few beatings from her mother, but although her mother was extremely angry, her strength was not big, but the child was thin, and the child next to her was beaten because of the pain, because she was thin, those few strokes were almost sticks to the bone, Guo Li was entrusted by Granny Zhang, and the doctor invited was a capable person, a few pairs of medicines went down, and the high fever was subsided, but the person was still empty.
Chu Mingxin pushed open the door, and Granny Zhang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, heard the sound, turned her head to look, and saw that it was Chu Mingxin, sighed in her heart, got up and blessed Chu Mingxin, "Thank you so much for the girl's righteousness." ”
"I didn't do anything, speaking of which, it was Xiaomei who saved me, otherwise I wouldn't know where I was going at this moment."
Reached out and touched Xiaomei's forehead, "She's getting feverish." ”
"Hey, what are the plans for the girl and her mother to buy her?"
Intend?
Chu Mingxin stood there stunned.
What else could she have planned?
Granny Zhang is old and sophisticated, and when she looks at her like this, she knows that she has probably been pampered since she was a child, and she hasn't gone through anything! Granny Zhang took her hand and asked her to sit, softly and softly put up Chu Ming's heart's words, Chu Ming's heart was absent-minded, and eight or nine times out of ten he couldn't get back to the idea. Granny Zhang was not in a hurry, and asked the questions back and forth slowly.
"The old woman knows that the money on the girl's body, but this money has never been saved, if there is no livelihood, I am afraid that the money will be spent soon."
Chu Ming was concerned and nodded like pounding garlic.
Granny Zhang smiled. "Xiaomei is a miserable person. Now she is being sold to a girl by her mother, this child was grown up by the old woman, so she naturally plans more for her. Don't be annoyed, girl. ”
Chu Mingxin shook his head, "Don't hide it from Granny Zhang, the money I bought Xiaomei today is the only silver I have left." No more, no more. "Chu Mingxin is not stupid. After suffering along the way, she finally learned a few precautions, even if Granny Zhang seemed to be a good person, she didn't dare to tell her clearly. And he had money on him.
Granny Zhang sighed and said her plan to Chu Mingxin, "Lao Gu won't come back until the end of this trip." You two lords and servants dwell here, and help him take care of the house. Speaking of which, it has helped me a lot, but you two have to eat and drink, and I am afraid that the salary I give will not be enough for you two to chew. ”
Chu Mingxin nodded when he heard this, and said in his heart, this mother-in-law is really a good person, nominally she asked the two of them to help her take care of the house, but in fact, she let them live here for nothing, with a separate courtyard, no idle people, the most quiet, and even better, she still has to pay them for their work.
It's just that this salary is really not much, after all, when Lao Gu went far away, he asked someone to take care of the house, and the money he paid was originally small, and it was impossible for Granny Zhang to pay the money backwards and ask someone to help him look at the house.
Chu Ming thought about it for a while, and then reacted, Granny Zhang is going to introduce her to work?
Granny Zhang didn't hide it, and asked directly, "I look at the girl's appearance, she should be literate?" Granny Zhang touched Chu Mingxin's palm a few times with her hand, and said, "How is the girl's embroidery doing?" ”
"It's fine." Mrs. Lu Wang Shizi attaches great importance to her daughters' boudoir education, Chu Mingxin used to be a famous noble daughter in Beijing, she is outstanding in learning, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if it weren't for this, her grandfather would not have seen Du Yunxun, so he decided to bring the two together.
It's just that in retrospect, she is no longer the little daughter that her parents pampered! When she first fell into trouble, she also wholeheartedly wanted to return to the capital, return to the Lu Palace, and redo the daughter of the prince who looked down on the people from above, and the Yun family woke her up fiercely, Chu Mingxin, who married Yang Shiyilang, was dead! Even Chu Mingyue already knew that she was far away in Huzhou, how could her father and mother in Beijing not know?
She didn't know that the steward who met by chance told Shizi after returning to Beijing, and Shizi sent a ticket to look for her outside.
Granny Zhang chattered, "You have taken advantage of your spare time to take care of Xiaomei these days, embroider a handkerchief for me, and I will take it to others to see if I can accept you into the embroidery village to do things." ”
Be an embroiderer? Chu Mingxin was a little resistant, but now she has to rely on Granny Zhang, she didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal, Granny Zhang has already learned her cooking skills in the past two days, really, miserable, although Granny Zhang didn't say anything, but seeing that when she came over every day, she brought some cooked food, and she knew that her old man was frightened by the food she cooked.
Chu Mingxin felt very innocent in this regard, although the nobles of the family all knew a little about cooking, but a little understanding did not mean that they would do it themselves! Even if her mother taught her to make snacks before, it was still a mouth, and someone did it herself, so she didn't have to worry about lighting the fire, choosing vegetables, and everything.
Granny Zhang asked her to cook on the fire, and she did it!
But if she wanted her to embroider a handkerchief, she still did it.
Who knows, but was beaten back.
Chu Mingxin has never suffered such a blow, even if he was rejected by the Du family, he did not let himself marry the Du family as he wished, and he was not so disappointed.
Granny Zhang looked at her in shock, as if she couldn't believe it, and forced a smile to herself, "This Ruyi embroidery village has always had extremely high requirements for embroidery girls, and the housekeeper said that the girl's craftsmanship is really good, but there is a slight gap with their requirements, so ......"
"Mother-in-law, just say it!"
"The lady in charge said, you just coped with things, I'm afraid you did things like this." Granny Zhang said bluntly, Chu Mingxin's face was pale, she had never been careless about embroidery, and the lady in charge of the embroidery village only looked at the handkerchief she embroidered, and knew that she was just coping with things?
Granny Zhang comforted her, "It's okay, there is still work to do." ”
"That's what my mother-in-law said."
Chu Ming's heart was beautiful and elegant, Granny Zhang really didn't dare to find her a job to show her face, but she was beaten back three times and twice, Chu Mingxin was also sad for a few days from the beginning, and she improved to no longer feel it!
The people under Granny Zhang's hands also felt strange, every time she looked for a job for this girl, she always lacked that kick in the door, Granny Zhang wanted to give up, and planned to let her go to find an errand by herself, and then she heard that there was a calligraphy and painting shop looking for a partner, she thought, okay! The last time, no more, she didn't have a rut.
This time, it's a coincidence, I heard that the young owner of this shop wants to find a female partner, and recently it is popular in Beijing to invite female partners to treat female customers, and I heard that the business of several shops doing this is doing the top red, maybe the young owner of this calligraphy and painting shop, also wants to learn from others!
Chu Mingxin's understanding of calligraphy and painting is really several times stronger than her needlework, Chu Mingxin took Xiaomei to work, the shopkeeper asked a few words, and left Xiaomei as a heel, and Chu Mingxin was sent to the wing room to wait for the female guests.
This calligraphy and painting shop is not big, and the guests who come and go are probably the daughters of some small civil officials, Chu Mingxin was originally afraid that she would be recognized, but she didn't want to, the guests who came were all she had never even heard of.
It's just that no matter how humble the official position is, the official wife is still an official dependent, and unlike them, the little people who do business to make a living, they still have to hold these guests high.
said that Fan Anyang was here, she directly found Fan Anyue and sent him to be tolerant.
"Huh? Isn't this what Master told you? Fan Anyue was shocked, hey, hey, is it really okay to bully my younger brother like this as a sister?
"Isn't it like I can't leave? Besides, Master's closed disciples are not only me and your brother-in-law, but also you! You can't be excluded just because you can't draw well! ”
Hit another arrow, Fan Anyue pouted and glared at his sister, "Ah Zhao, you are too thief like this!" ”
"You can work hard!" Fan Anyang smiled and asked people to bring the cut fruit, Xiao Niannian came over with the younger brother held by the nurse, and when she saw Fan Anyue, she asked for peace with her well-behaved blessing.
Fan Anyue couldn't bear to see their sister and brother, the child is still so young! I didn't have a mother, and I thought that I had no mother when I was back to normal and his brother was also at a young age.
"I have to take care of the two of them, and I can't leave them for a long time, especially Xiaobao, he was scared by the aunt of the Gao family before, and I am afraid that it will take several days to recuperate."
Fan Anyue heard what his mother said, and immediately snorted coldly, "What the hell is the Gao family thinking!" ”
"Who knows." Fan Anyang thought about the two children in front of him, so he didn't say it too plainly.
"I know." Who knew that Xiao Niannian was unexpected.
"You know?" Fan Anyang's sister and brother asked in unison, and Fan Anyue asked again, "What do you know?" ”
"I know it all!" Xiao Niannian said and tears fell down, "My great-grandmother wanted my aunt from the third uncle's grandmother's family to be our bride, and I said no, and my aunt's maid beat me, and said that I was disobedient and not well-behaved, and my aunt entered the door carefully and gave birth to a new brother and a new sister, and my mother didn't want us." ”
Fan Anyang and the others were furious when they heard this, and Ruixiang realized, "Was it the slave who went to pick up your business that day?" ”
"Hmm." Xiao Niannian hugged Fan Anyang's arm, "Auntie, you and the second uncle, can you tell your father that you don't want the aunt of the third uncle's family to be the bride?" Don't want other aunts and uncles to be mothers? ”
Fan Anyue asked, "What did your grandmother say?" ”
"My grandmother didn't know, they said they couldn't tell my grandmother that my grandmother lived with my ancestor, and my ancestor was sick, and my grandmother was sick!"
I don't know if the ancestor of the Gao family is really sick, but does Mrs. Gao really not know that her mother-in-law's family is already calculating her son-in-law when her daughter's bones are not cold?
Fan Anyang didn't believe it, and Fan Anyue didn't believe it either, after sending the children away, Fan Anyue took over the errand of appointing the new shopkeeper, and said, "Since my sister wants me to share my worries, then the shops in Master's capital, as well as the fact that Master is auctioning the building in Zhangluo, should I change my sister to help?" ”
This kid is such a thief! Fan Anyang had no choice but to take this hot potato, originally Du Yunxun was in the way, and they all went back for her, but she didn't expect the master and her brother to ambush her here. (To be continued)
